The Wykeham Collegiate’s poppets patch has been extended and our poppets can now get properly stuck into their mud kitchen!  The mud kitchen is far more than messy play, it is a powerful learning space, where curiosity, creativity and confidence come to life.

As our poppets mix, pour, measure, and create, they are developing early maths and science concepts, strengthening language skills, building social confidence, and refining the fine motor control needed for writing. Through sensory-rich play, they learn to problem-solve, collaborate, and think independently. What may look like simple mud play, is in fact meaningful, hands-on learning at its very best!
